D&D 5E Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?

[FrozenNorth]

I like the anthologies, so Keys to the Golden Vault. The others are meh to me. I see less need to purchase more player focussed material, I have no particular nostalgia for Planescape, and giants aren’t common enough to buy a giants-focussed book.

 

[TwoSix]

I love using the DoMT in my games, so I'm definitely interested (not to the point of buying it, though) in that book.

I'm interested in the Planescape book(s) in the sense of "not being able to look away from a car crash" interest.

 

[TwoSix]

Awful lol I guarantee you most people voting Planescape don't know that.

I knew that, and I voted Planescape. I would note that the poll never indicates your interest has to be positive.

Brutal but fair.

"I am interested in watching this rolling down hill and catching fire".

Sigil's the only part I really care about, and the 2e books still work just fine for that.

 

[RoughCoronet0]

Honestly, the more things develop, the more I want to buy all of them.

 

[DarkCrisis]

Planescape, but in that train wreck way akin to Dragonlance.

Which I get it will be 90% adventure and minimum lore like DL

 

[Maxperson]

Good luck pulping that Spelljammer box set, the paper on that bad boy was hella thick. Lol.

That was one of the most annoying things about the set. It feels like I'm grabbing two pages instead of one and I end up double checking to make sure. I'd much rather have had them give me twice as many normal pages and put an actual setting into the setting book.

Raises hand.

 

[Maxperson]

It's extremely weird and probably to do with the turmoil at WotC right now. I don't think WotC want it to be associated with the whole OGL fiasco, but the problem is that fiasco may well continue until it's launched.

That horse has left the barn. This isn't going to be over by then. Even if they do resolve the language of the new OGL(or keep the old one) by then, the hard feelings will still be around.

 

[Stormonu]

Yeah I don't need another DM screen.

I have enough DM screens to last me a lifetime.

However ... I'd like to see them do a modular screen. 3 paneled, landscape orientation. Two of the panels are fixed with information about conditions and other core information. The 3rd panel can be replaced with information specific to a campaign world or adventure, or just something custom-made by the DM or a 3rd party possibly. New books come with one cardboard sheet that can be put in the screen, or possibly sell them separately for past books or in a pack.

Awful lol I guarantee you most people voting Planescape don't know that.

I knew: I liked the Spelljammer set, sue me.

 

[Zaukrie]

I'm very curious about planescape, but the lack of depth in spellhammer gives me doubts.

The phandelver book could be great, as I really like the two big sets, but if they just reprint the adventures we already have, I'm not interested at all.

 

[Dungeonosophy]

nada.
I’m entirely switching over to A5E or somesuch.

 

[Zaukrie]

Personally, I don't mind the 3 book format. But I'm hoping Planescape swap out the adventure for more setting info.
Also, swapping out the DM's screen for either maps or more pg count would go a long way too.

100% give me big battle maps over another screen.

 

[billd91]

There are a couple I'm curious about - and HAD been interested in getting. Then WotC squirreled everything up. So now it's a cautious wait and see.

 

[akr71]

Currently? None.

I'm curious about the Giants book though. If the reviews do well and I'm still playing D&D a year from now, I may pick it up. I'm surprised at how many people are interested in Planescape after the Spelljammer release last year.

 

[Vael]

I'm not currently planning on purchasing any of these, even before the OGL debacle I was in a wait and see mode because I was expecting to save up for next year's new Core set.

But I am at least interested in learning more about Keys from the Golden Vault and The Book of Many Things.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I don't know enough about any of them to answer. I'm pretty confident that I can say I'm not interested in the Phandelver Campaign though. Whilst Lost Mines was well written, it's just too generic fantasy for me.

If WotC gets their crap together, I'm actually interested in this one, as I've used Phandelver to give three D&D groups their starts and I love it compared to my prior go-tos for first timers, the Village of Homlett and Keep on the Borderlands.

Although Planescape obviously has a lot of very vocal fans with very specific demands for what they want a 5E Planescape to be like, I think there are plenty of people who would just like a more detailed Outer Planes setting and bestiary, even if it doesn't check every box in terms of updating 2E Planescape (which would be a truly enormous undertaking to even do half way).
